PDF.js: Arbitrary JavaScript execution upon opening a malicious PDF

Exploitation and risk

CISA KEV lists vulnerabilities known to be exploited. FIRST EPSS estimates the likelihood of exploitation in the next 30 days. An unavailable score does not mean zero risk.

Which CVEs have scores here?

This view includes predictions for CVE identifiers explicitly listed in public NuGet advisories. Microsoft release pages have their own prediction coverage. Check source status for the scope and latest checks.

No exploitation or prediction data is available here for these CVEs. This does not mean they are safe or unlikely to be exploited.

### Impact If PDF.js is used to load a malicious PDF, and PDF.js is configured with `enableScripting` set to true (which is the default value) and no CSP for disallowing script-src, unrestricted attacker-controlled JavaScript will be executed in the context of the hosting domain. ### Patches ### Workarounds Set `enableScripting` to `false` or set a CSP.
